Specification of Letters Patent.

, Application led August 2, 1913. Serial No. 782,569.

T0 all whom it may concern.'

Be it known that I, ELLswonTrr A. Haw THonNE, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Bridgeport, county of Fair` field, and-State of Connecticut, have invent* ed an Improvement in Lamps, of which the following description, in connection with vthe accompanying drawings, is a specification, like characters-on the drawings representinglike parts.

.This lnvention relates to lamps, more especially to electric lamps `for use on vehicles, such for example as motor cycles, and

' will be best understood by reference to the following specification, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings of one 'specific embodiment thereof, while its scope willbe more particularly pointed out in the appended claims.

In the drawings: Figure 1 is a side elevation of a lamp embodying my inventiong,

and Fig. 2 is apla'n view of the same, partly in section.

Referring to the drawings, and to the embodiment of my invention which I have selected for illustration, I have there shown a lamp comprising a lamp casing 3, provided at its front with a light-transmitting element l of any appropriate character to transmit the light from a suitable light-producing element 5, herein in the form of an electric incandescent bulb.' The casing 3 may be supported in any other appropriate manner, but herein a support 6, of generally U-shaped form, is provided with two arms 7 and 8, the latter being secured to the back of the lamp casing by any appropriate means, as for example a plurality of rivets 9, extending through the arm and back wall of the casing. The terminal portions of the arms 7 and 8 may be appropriately formed for attachment to any suitable bracket (not ture-14 in the'arm 8, and adjacent its rear end, it extends through an aperture 15 in the arm 7.

The tubular connection 13 may serve asa housing for any usual or desired conductors leading to the lamp terminals (not shown), and the rear end 'of the connection in such case preferably serves for the attachment .of a plug 16 at the terminal portionwof .a `current supply cable 17. The plug 16 may be secured to the connection 13 in any other ap- Patented June 2, 1914. i

propriate manner, but herein is provided with a pin -18'located in a bayonet slot 19 formed in the connection. The attachment of the plug and lamp to the connection is such thateither may be removed from its place, yet without remo-ving the connection from its support and without disconnecting the lamp casing from its support.

Vhile I haveherein shown and describedl one form or embodiment of my invention for illustrative'purposes, and have disclosed arrangement Iincidental to one specific. application thereof, it is to be understood that and discussed in detail the construction and the invention is limited neither to the mere Yrdetails or relative arrangement of parts,

nor to specific embodiment vherein shown, but that extensive deviations fromthe illustrated form or embodiment ofthe invention may be made, without departing from the principles thereof.

Having thus described l my invention what I claim and desire to'procure by Letters Patent is 1. In a lighting apparatus, the combination of a lamp casing, a lamp within said casing, a tubular connection leading to said lamp and extending rearwardly from said casing, a current-conducting cable having an attaching plug extending within and having a readily detachable attachment to the -rear end of said connection, and a support 'through which said connection extends, the

attachment of the cable being independent of the attachment for said connection afforded by said support.

2. In alighting apparatus, the combination of a lamp casing, a lamp within said casing, a tubular connection leading to said .lamp and extending rearwardly from said casing, and supporting means for said connection having an aperture to receive said` connection adjacent its rear end and another aperture to receive said connectlon adjacent said casing.

3. 1n a lighting apparatus, the combination of a lamp casing, a lamp within said casing, a tubular connection leading to said lamp and extending .rearwardly from said casing, and a support through which said Connection extends at two points one of a n aperture though which said connection lo which is adjacent said easing and the other extends.

adjacent the re end of Said Connection.
